Archive for the ‘30 Seconds To Mars’ tag

So I went to Soundwave Brisbane 2011. That’s right, the fat bearded geek went to Soundwave.

First off, big thanks to the guys from Eden Must Burn for the invite. Rad gents all of them… and major props to Liz for driving. There is a reason I’m a fan of these people, and it goes way beyond their music.

So, classic fish out of water scenario. I’ve never been to a festival, let alone one which, from the line-up, was a few notches above my usual play list. I went in with an open mind and I left with a head full of tunes and a happy iTunes account.

Oh, yeah, and my camera is still broken, so I took my little Lumix. The photographic adventure is below:

Sevendust:
Epic band. I knew the EMB guys were a fans but listening to their album I didn’t get it. Then I saw them live and it clicked.

Bullet For My Valentine:
Way outside my usual play list… but I give them major props for the energy in their stage show.

Slash:
Enough said.

30 Seconds To Mars:
My biggest Hmmmm. I didn’t like them for so many years. Then Closer To The Edge came out. My walls were tested until they collapsed. What a stage presence. Props to the dude behind me who was uber excited to see Jared Leto… My butt crack will call you.
